CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

Composition of the Board

The names of the current Directors of the Company at the date of this statement are set out in the Directors' Report accompanying 
this financial report. The composition of the board is determined using the following principles:

-

-

-

-

a maximum of five Directors and a minimum of three Directors;

a Non-Executive as Chairman;

a majority of Non-Executive Directors; and

a balance between independent and non-independent Directors

The Board is currently comprised of two Executive Directors and one Non-Executive Director. The Company's constitution provides 
for a maximum of 5 directors. The Board periodically reviews its size as appropriate. The Company currently does not employ a 
Managing Director, however, in the event that this office was filled, he or she would be invited to attend all Board Meetings.

Directors are considered to be independent if they are not major shareholders, are independent of management, and are free from 
any business or other relationship that could materially interfere with their exercise of free and independent judgement. One out of 
three of the directors are considered to fall within this category.

The Board regards the present composition of Directors as a good balance at this stage of the Company's development with the 
appropriate mix of expertise, experience and ability to represent the interest of all shareholders.

Future Director appointees will receive a formal letter of appointment setting out the responsibilities, rights, terms and conditions of 
their appointment. Directors participate in a comprehensive induction which covers the operations, financial position, strategic and 
risk management issues, as well as the operation of the Board and any sub-committees.

Meetings

The Board meets on a regular basis to retain full and effective control and monitor executive management. During the financial year 
to 30 June 2020, the full Board met 7 times in conjunction with regular management meetings. The Directors' attendance at 
meetings is detailed in the Directors' Report.

Members of the management team may attend meetings at the invitation of the Board.

Role of Chairman

The current Chairman is a non-independent Director elected by the full Board and he has not previously been an employee of the 
Company.

The Chairman is responsible for leading the Board, ensure Directors are properly briefed in all matters relevant to their role and 
responsibilities, facilitating Board discussions and managing the Board's relationship with the Company's senior executives.

Terms of office

The Board reviews its performance and composition on an annual basis and aims to have members with high levels of intellectual 
ability, experience ,soundness of judgement and integrity to maximise its effectiveness and contribution. Directors serve a maximum 
three-year term before being required to be re-elected by the Company's members. The Company's constitution provides that at 
least one third (or the nearest whole number) of directors must retire at each Annual General Meeting, but are eligible for re-election 
at that meeting. There is no compulsory retiring age.

Independent professional advice

In performing their duties, Directors have the right to seek independent, professional advice at the Company's expense, in 
furtherance of their duties as Directors, with the approval of the Chairman, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Board Committees

The Company currently has no committees, the tasks that would ordinarily be assigned to a committee are undertaken by the full 
board of the Company.

authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act. The financial statements and 
reports are subject to review every half year and the auditor issues an audit opinion accompanying the full year results for each 
financial year.

External auditors

The Company policy is to appoint external auditors who clearly demonstrate quality and independence. The performance of the 
external auditor is reviewed annually, taking into consideration assessment of performance, existing value and tender costs.

An analysis of fees paid to the external auditors, including a breakdown of fees for non-audit services, is provided in Note 5 to the 
financial statements. It is a requirement of the external auditors to provide an annual declaration of their independence to the Board.

The external auditor is requested to attend the annual general meeting either in person or via phone linkup and be available to 
answer shareholder questions about the conduct of the audit and the preparation and content of the audit report.

condition and operational results of the Company and Group and are in accordance with relevant accounting standards.

which implements the policies adopted by the Board and that the Company's risk management and internal compliance 
and control is operating efficiently and effectively in all material respects.

The Board is responsible for ensuring there are adequate policies in relation to risk management, compliance and internal control 
systems. In summary, the Company's policies are designed to ensure strategic, operational, legal, reputation and financial risks are 
identified, assessed and efficiently managed and monitored to enable achievement of the Company's business objectives.

Considerable importance is placed on maintaining a strong control environment. There is an organisational structure with clearly 
drawn lines of accountability and delegation of authority. Adherence to the Code of Conduct is required at all times and the Board 
actively promotes a culture of quality and integrity.

Detailed control procedures cover management accounting, purchase and payments, financial reporting, capital expenditure 
requests, project appraisal, environment, health and safety, IT security, compliance, and other risk management issues. There is a 
systematic review and monitoring of key business operational risks by management which reports on current and future risks and 
mitigation activities to the Board.

The Company recognises the importance of environmental and occupational health and safety (OH&S) issues and is committed to 
the highest levels of performance with the systematic identification of environmental and OH&S issues to ensure they are managed 
in a structured manner. This system allows the Company to:

-

-

-

-

-

-

monitor its compliance with all relevant legislation;

continually assess and improve the impact of its operations on the environment;

encourage employees to actively participate in the management of environmental and OH&S issues;

work with industry peers to raise standards;

exploration contractors.

Continuous disclosure and shareholder communication

The Board is responsible for ensuring there are adequate policies in relation to risk management, compliance and internal control 
systems. In summary, the Company's policies are designed to ensure strategic, operational, legal, reputation and financial risks are 
identified, assessed and efficiently managed and monitored to enable achievement of the Company's business objectives.

The Company is a disclosing entity under the Corporations Act and is subject to the continuous disclosure requirements under ASX 
Listing Rules. Communications with shareholders and other stakeholders are given a high priority. In addition to statutory disclosure 
documents such as Annual Reports and Quarterly activity reports, the Board is committed to keeping all stakeholders informed of all 
material developments that affect the Company in a timely manner.

becomes aware of information concerning the Company that would be likely to have a material effect on the price or value of the 
Company's securities (and which does not fall within the exceptions to the disclosure requirements contained in the Listing Rules), 
that information is released to the ASX.

ASX. This role includes responsibility for ensuring compliance with continuous disclosure requires of ASX listing Rules and 
overseeing and co-ordinating information disclosure to the ASX.

Diversity Policy

Diversity includes, but is not limited to, gender, age, ethnicity and cultural background. The Company is committed to diversity and 
recognises the benefits arising from employee and board diversity and the importance of benefitting from all available talent. 
Accordingly, the company has established a diversity policy.

This diversity policy outlines requirements for the Board to develop measurable objectives for achieving diversity, and annually 
assess both the objectives and the progress in achieving those objectives. Accordingly, the Board has developed the following 
objectives regarding gender diversity and aims to achieve these objectives as Director and senior executive positions become 
vacant and appropriately qualified candidates become available:

-

-

-

-

-

achieve a diverse and skilled workforce, leading to continuous improvement in the achievement of its corporate goals;

the development of clear criteria on behavioural expectations in relation to promoting diversity;

create a work environment that values and utilises the contributions of employees with diverse backgrounds, experiences 
and perspectives;

ensure that personnel responsible for recruitment take into account diversity issues when considering vacancies; and

create awareness in all employees of their rights and responsibilities with regards to fairness, equity and respect for all 
aspects of diversity.

The Board believes that they have been successful in implementing these objectives throughout the Group's workforce.

have a Remuneration Committee. The full Board carries out the duties that would ordinarily be assigned to the Remuneration 
Committee and the Board has devoted time annually to fulfilling the roles and responsibilities associated with setting the level and 
composition of remuneration for Directors, ensuring that such remuneration is appropriate and not excessive.

Note 11

The Company does not currently have any equity based remuneration schemes in place.

Note 12
The Company has not adopted an anti-bribery and corruption policy. However, the matters that would be dealt with in such a policy 
have largely been addressed within the broader corporate governance of the Company. The Company would look to adopt a policy 
within the next 12 months together with a review of all its corporate governance policies.

DIRECTORS' REPORT

Operating and Financial Review

Review of Operations

During CY2020 the Company continued to undertake works at its Maymia gold project in Western Australia and to evaluate a number of 
projects both domestically and abroad which culminated in the execution of option agreements to acquire two Victorian Gold Projects at 
Rutherglen and Bendoc that have recorded historical gold production in excess of 1 Million Ounces. The Company was attracted to these 
projects as both areas offer near term drill targets that could generate new discoveries and gold resources at a time of revival in gold 
exploration within Victoria. Since entering into the option agreements, the Company has already spent substantial resources reinterpreting 
data and preparing work programs, which resulted in a resource target at Rutherglen of 260,000 oz to 529,000 oz being reported subsequent 
to the reporting period.

The Company believed that the Rutherglen project was capable of significant scale and that the Bendoc project which already held a non 
JORC Resource could be brought to JORC standard relatively quickly thereby providing an opportunity to hold two quality advanced gold 
projects within the medium term. 

Rutherglen Gold Project (Option to acquire 100% EL6331)

Exploration License (EL6331) is located 30km west of Albury and covers an area of ~368km2 over the historical Chiltern and Rutherglen 
goldfields. Historical gold production from this area up until 1920 is estimated at approximately 1.4Million ounces. Most production came from 
underground mining of rich (5 – 11.6 g/m2 : Bulletin 62 Geological Survey of Victoria) ancient placer deposits along palaeo river systems, 
buried beneath unconsolidated sediments, that were located through crude auger drilling. Figure 1 displays historical mined palaeo river 
systems and potential unmined components of the same river system. Geophysics will be used to locate and extend potentially mineralised 
river systems buried beneath up to 100metres of unconsolidated sediments and provide drill targets, and the Company has recently released 
its maiden Exploration Target for this project of between 260,000 oz and 529,000 ozs gold.

Figure 1 Location of historically mined Ancient Placer deposits, and apparent terminations, over Digital Elevation 
Model DEM.

The Company sees an opportunity to use targeted and more detailed magnetics, and other geophysical methods such as resistivity, to locate 
and delineate palaeo rivers and define drill targets for testing and potential resource definition. This style of deposit allows conventional earth 
moving to remove the unconsolidated overburden and simple mineral processing to recover the gold. All the rivers that have drained the 
exposed Ordovician sediments at both Rutherglen and Chiltern have contained gold, the Company will therefore conduct exploration with the 
expectation that newly identified river systems may be similarly mineralised.

DIRECTORS' REPORT

Bendoc Gold Project (Option to acquire 100% EL6187)

License (EL6187) is located 12km south of Delegate, NSW and covers an area of ~220km2 over the historical Bendoc, Bonang and 
Clarkesville goldfields. The area has a history of alluvial mining and small high-grade gold mines typical of the Orogenic Gold deposits in the 
Lachlan fold belt. Figure 2 shows distribution of old gold mines and workings in the license area.

Figure 2 Regional Geology of Bendoc and location of old gold mines.

A number of companies have explored the region with geochemical surveys, drilling and mapping and assessment of this data is underway. 
Between 1993 and 1996 Zephyr Minerals NL completed 93 inclined Reverse Circulation (6,662m) drill holes (maximum depth 118m, mostly 
50m) over a region of elevated geochemical anomalism and primary vein-hosted mineralisation at the historical Victoria Star gold mine. 
Drilling indicated gold mineralisation over a strike length of 600m. Dynasty Metals Australia Ltd completed an additional 4 inclined diamond 
drill holes (500.8m, all ~125m) at Victoria Star. Untested geochemical anomalies to the west and south of the drilled area at Victoria Star are 
shown in Figure 3.

DIRECTORS' REPORT

A resource which is not compliant with the JORC Code was reported for Victoria Star that included 3D modelling and displays. Drilling has 
confirmed pervasive mineralisation of interest and the Company will be working to potentially upgrade to resource status and complete 
additional drilling to identify deeper and high-grade shoots of mineralisation. Outlier intercepts for parallel mineralised systems, and untested 
geochemical anomalies in the immediate region, will also be targeted. Historical drilling focused on the southern extension of the Victoria 
Star and Welcome Stranger lines but indicates other shallow and isolated drill intersections that require follow up 

Structural assessment indicates the vein swarm at Victoria Star was created by interaction of north south faulting with the prevailing NE-SW 
stratigraphy. A number of historical gold mines and workings including Clarkeville to the south of Victoria Star, and Bendoc to the north, fall 
within a 10km long North - South corridor which may be structurally controlled and enhances the regional exploration potential of the project 
area. Review of previous regional geological and exploration data, and probable further geochemical sampling, is anticipated to highlight 
other areas for more detailed work. 

Marymia gold project

The Marymia Gold Project comprises granted exploration license E52/3104 which was extended for a further 5 years subsequent to the 
reporting period and is located at the north east end of the ~50km long Plutonic Greenstone Belt which hosts the world class Plutonic and 
Marymia gold mine centres some ~45km and ~10km to the south west respectively. See (Figure 4). The area abutts Norwest Minerals (ASX: 
NWM) Bulgera Project to the south west with historic production at Bulgera of 441,000 tonnes at 1.6 g/t Au (23,398 ounces) and a recently 
announced maiden resource of 2.0 million tonnes grading 1.03 g/t Au (65,500 ounces) – See NWM ASX announcement dated 11 September 
2019. 

Figure 4: Plutonic Greenstone Belt showing Open Pit areas (Black Outlines) and Competitor Holdings 

During the reporting period the Company prepared a drill exploration work program and conducted reconnaissance field work for the aircore 
(AC) drilling program along strike of untested anomalous RAB intersections. This drill program was completed subsequent to the reporting 
period following delays due to the onset of COVID-19 with the results released in early September.

The Company completed 31 holes for 1,922 meters of aircore drilling with the program designed to test strike extensions to the NE tenement 
corner and south of anomalous MHRB008 in order to assess the southern greenstone margin. Drilling was also designed to extend 
mineralisation to the SW of historic wide spaced RAB anomalism. 

The aircore drilling confirmed and identified gold anomalism along the southern greenstone areas and to the NE tenement corner. Aircore 
drilling did not extend anomalism to the SW of historic wide spaced RAB holes. Grades reported were low but confirm the presence of gold 
mineralization and the Company will undertake further analysis of results and geology before determining the next steps for this project.

Highgate Vanadium Project

During the reporting period the Company announced the proposed acquisition of the Highgate Vanadium Project which was subject to Due 
Diligence and Shareholder Approval. 

Although Due Diligence was completed on the Project satisfactorily the acquisition agreement was subject to conditions precedent, including 
shareholder approval, which were required to be satisfied by the sunset date of 11 April 2020. In view of the uncertain market conditions at 
the time and an inability to obtain the relevant approvals by the required date, the parties mutually agreed not to extend the sunset date 
further and terminated the agreement.

Future Plans

The Company’s immediate focus will be on its Victorian Gold Projects where detailed exploration programs are being finalised following the 
reporting of a maiden exploration target. Work undertaken to date confirms the prospectivity of the two projects and the Board remains 
confident that the Company will be in a position to exercise the options it holds over the Projects and acquire them outright in Q1 2021. The 
Company expects to complete its maiden JORC Resource at Bendoc and to commence field work at Rutherglen during the forthcoming year.

Remuneration Policy

Executive Chairman

Executive Director

Non-Executive Director

The Company's remuneration policy has been designed to align Director and Executive objectives with shareholder and business objectives 
by providing remuneration packages comprising of a fixed remuneration component. The Board believes the remuneration policy for its 
Directors and senior management to be appropriate and effective to attract and retain people with the necessary qualifications, skills and 
experience to assist the company in achieving its desired results. Due to the size of the company, a remuneration committee has not been 
formed.

Remuneration is reviewed on an annual basis, taking into consideration a number of performance indicators. While no performance based 
remuneration component has been built into Director and senior management remuneration packages, it is envisaged that as the Company 
further progresses, consideration will be given to this component of remuneration.

The Group's earnings and movements in shareholders' wealth for five years to 30 June 2020 are detailed in the following table:

DIRECTORS' REPORT

Remuneration structure

In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of Non-Executive and Executive director remuneration is separate and 
distinct.

Remuneration of Directors and Senior Management

The Directors (both Executive and Non-Executive) and senior management of the Company received remuneration during the year 
commencing 1 July 2019 and ending 30 June 2020 based on the following agreements:

Remuneration of Executive Directors

Objective

The Board aims to reward Executive Directors with a level and mix of remuneration commensurate with their position and responsibilities 
within the Company and so as to:

reward Executives for Company, business unit and individual performance against targets set by reference to appropriate 
benchmarks;

align the interest of Executive Directors with those of shareholders;

link reward with the strategic goals and performance of the Company; and

ensure total remuneration is competitive by market standards

-

-

-

-

Structure

In determining the level and make-up of Executive Director remuneration, the Board considers external reports on market levels of 
remuneration for comparable executive roles. It is the Board's policy that employment contracts are entered into with all senior Executive 
Directors.

Two Executive Directors were engaged by the Company during or since the end of the financial year.

Remuneration of Non-Executive Directors

Objective

The Board seeks to set aggregate remuneration at a level which provides the Group with the ability to attract and retain Non-Executive 
Directors of the highest calibre, whilst incurring a cost which is acceptable to shareholders.

Structure

The Constitution and ASX Listing Rules specify that the aggregate remuneration of Non-Executive Directors shall be determined from time to 
time by a general meeting of the Company's shareholders. An amount not exceeding the amount determined is then divided between the 
Directors as agreed whilst maintaining a surplus amount that can be attributable to further Non-Executive Directors should they be appointed 
at any time. The current aggregate remuneration amount is $250,000.

The amount of aggregate remuneration sought to be approved by shareholders and the manner in which it is apportioned amongst directors 
is reviewed annually. The Board considers advice from external consultants as well as the fees paid to Non-Executive Directors of 
comparable companies when undertaking the annual review process.

The Non-Executive Directors are paid a set amount per year. The Non-Executive Directors may receive consultant's fees through related 
entities for services rendered on a commercial basis.

Position Held as at 30 June 2020 and since the end of the 
financial year

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020

The Directors of Gladiator Resources Limited and its subsidiaries ("the Group") submit herewith the annual report of the Group for the 
financial year ended 30 June 2020. The separate financial statements of the parent entity, Gladiator Resources Limited, have not been 
presented within this financial report as permitted by the Corporations Act 2001. Refer to Note 2 for the Parent information.

The financial statements were authorised for issue on 30 September 2020 by the directors of the company.

Note 1

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Preparation

The financial statements are general purpose financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting 
Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the 
Corporations Act 2001. The Group is a for-profit entity for financial purposes under the Australian Accounting Standards.

Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the Australian Accounting Standards Board has concluded would result in 
financial statements containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions. Compliance with Australian 
Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with the International Financial Reporting Standards. 
These financial statements also comply with the International Financial Reporting Standards issued by the International Accounting 
Standards Board (IASB). Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of financial statements are presented  below and have 
been consistently applied unless stated otherwise.

Except for cash flow information, the financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis and are based on historical costs, 
modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.

(a)

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Gladiator Resources Limited 
("Company" or "Parent entity") as at 30 June 2020 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Gladiator Resources 
Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in these financial statements as the 'consolidated group'. A list of controlled entities 
is contained in Note 9 to the financial statements.

Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the consolidated entity has control. The consolidated entity controls and has the ability to 
affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which 
control is transferred to the consolidated entity. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between entities in the consolidated entity are eliminated. 
Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting 
policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the consolidated 
group.

The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. A change in ownership interest, without the 
loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction, where the difference between the consideration transferred and the book 
value of the share of the non-controlling interest acquired is recognised directly in equity attributable to the parent.

Non-controlling interest in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the statement of profit or loss and other 
comprehensive income, statement of financial position and statement of changes in equity of the consolidated group. Losses incurred 
by the consolidated group are attributed to the non-controlling interest in full, even if that results in a deficit balance.

Where the consolidated group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets including goodwill, liabilities and non-
controlling interest in the subsidiary together with any cumulative translation differences recognised in equity. The consolidated group 
recognises the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any investment retained together with any gain or loss in 
profit or loss.

(b)

Income Tax

The income tax expense (income) for the year comprises current income tax expense (income) and deferred tax expense (income).

Current income tax expense charged to profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income for the current period. Current tax liabilities 
(assets) are measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority using tax rates (and tax 
laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the year as well as unused tax 
losses.  

Current and deferred income tax expense (income) is charged or credited outside profit or loss when the tax relates to items that are 
recognised outside profit or loss or arising from a business combination.

A deferred tax liability shall be recognised for all taxable temporary differences, except to the extent that the deferred tax liability arises 
from: (a) the initial recognition of goodwill; or (b) the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which: (i) is not a business 
combination; and (ii) at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (tax loss).

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020

Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont'd)

Except for business combinations, no deferred income tax is recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, where there 
is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or 
the liability is settled and their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying 
amount of the related asset or liability. With respect to non-depreciable items of property, plant and equipment measured at fair value 
and items of investment property measured at fair value, the related deferred tax liability or deferred tax asset is measured on the basis 
that the carrying amount of the asset will be recovered entirely through sale. When an investment property that is depreciable is held by 
the entity in a business model whose objective is to consume substantially all of the economic benefits embodied in the property 
through use over time (rather than through sale), the related deferred tax liability or deferred tax asset is measured on the basis that the 
carrying amount of such property will be recovered entirely through use.

Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that 
future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised, unless the deferred tax asset 
relating to temporary differences arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that:

-

-

is not a business combination; and

at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (tax loss).

Where temporary differences exist in relation to investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates, and joint ventures, deferred tax 
assets and liabilities are not recognised where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is not 
probable that the reversal will occur in the foreseeable future.

Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists and it is intended that net settlement or 
simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset 
where: (i) a legally enforceable right of set-off exists; and (ii) the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the 
same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where it is intended that net settlement or 
simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in future periods in which significant amounts of 
deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled.

(c)

Property, Plant and Equipment

Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value as indicated less, where applicable, any accumulated 
depreciation and impairment losses.

Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis and therefore carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated 
impairment.  In the event the carrying amount of plant and equipment is greater than the estimated recoverable amount, the carrying 
amount is written down immediately to the estimated recoverable amount and impairment losses are recognised either in profit or loss. 
A formal assessment of recoverable amount is made when impairment indicators are present (refer to Note 1(g) for details of 
impairment).

The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount 
from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the 
asset's employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in 
determining recoverable amounts.

The cost of fixed assets constructed within the consolidated group includes the cost of materials, direct labour, borrowing costs and an 
appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is 
probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured 
reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are recognised as expenses in profit or loss during the financial period in which they are 
incurred.

Depreciation

The depreciable amount of all fixed assets including buildings and capitalised leased assets, but excluding freehold land, is depreciated 
on a straight-line basis over the asset's useful life to the Group commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. Leasehold 
improvements are depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the 
improvements.

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.

An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its 
estimated recoverable amount.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are 
recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. Gains shall not be classified as revenue. When revalued assets are sold, 
amounts included in the revaluation surplus relating to that asset are transferred to retained earnings.

Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont'd)

(d)

Exploration and Development Expenditure

Exploration, evaluation and development expenditures incurred are capitalised in respect of each identifiable area of interest. These 
costs are only capitalised to the extent that they are expected to be recovered through the successful development of the area or where 
activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable 
reserves.

Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against profit or loss in which the decision to abandon the 
area is made.

When production commences, the accumulated costs for the relevant area of interest are amortised over the life of the area according 
to the rate of depletion of the economically recoverable reserves.

A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to capitalise costs in relation to 
that area.

Costs of site restoration are provided for over the life of the project from when exploration commences and are included in the costs of 
that stage. Site restoration costs include the dismantling and removal of mining plant, equipment and building structures, waste 
removal, and rehabilitation of the site in accordance with local laws and regulations and clauses of the permits. Such costs have been 
determined using estimates of future costs, current legal requirements and technology on an undiscounted basis.

Any changes in the estimates for the costs are accounted for on a prospective basis. In determining the costs of site restoration, there 
is uncertainty regarding the nature and extent of the restoration due to community expectations and future legislation. Accordingly the 
costs have been determined on the basis that the restoration will be completed within one year of abandoning the site.

(e)

Leases

The Group as lessee

At inception of a contract, the Group assesses if the contract contains or is a lease. If there is a lease present, a right-of-use asset and 
a corresponding lease liability is recognised by the Group where the Group is a lessee. However, all contracts that are classified as 
short-term leases (i.e. a lease with a remaining lease term of 12 months or less) and leases of low- value assets are recognised as an 
operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

Initially, the lease liability is measured at the present value of the lease payments still to be paid at commencement date. The lease 
payments are discounted at the interest rate implicit in the lease. If this rate cannot be readily determined, the Group uses the 
incremental borrowing rate.

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability are as follows:
– fixed lease payments less any lease incentives;
– variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate, initially measured using the index or rate at the commencement date;
– the amount expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees;
– the exercise price of purchase options, if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise the options;
– lease payments under extension options, if lessee is reasonably certain to exercise the options; and 
– payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the exercise of an option to terminate the lease.

The right-of-use assets comprise the initial measurement of the corresponding lease liability as mentioned above, any lease payments 
made at or before the commencement date, as well as any initial direct costs. The subsequent measurement of the right-of-use assets 
is at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the lease term or useful life of the underlying asset, whichever is the shortest. 
Where a lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset, or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Group anticipates to 
exercise a purchase option, the specific asset is depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset.

Financial Instruments

Recognition and Initial Measurement

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions to the instrument. 
For financial assets, this is the date that the Group commits itself to either the purchase or sale of the asset (i.e. trade date accounting 
is adopted).

Financial instruments (except for trade receivables) are initially measured at fair value plus transactions costs except where the 
instrument is classified ‘at fair value through profit or loss’ in which case transaction costs are expensed to profit or loss immediately. 
Where available, quoted prices in an active market are used to determine fair value. In other circumstances, valuation techniques are 
adopted.

Trade receivables are initially measured at the transaction price if the trade receivables do not contain a significant financing 
component or if the practical expedient was applied as specified in AASB 15.63.

Classification and Subsequent Measurement

Financial liabilities

Financial instruments are subsequently measured at:

—

—

amortised cost; or

fair value through profit or loss.

A financial liability is measured at fair value through profit and loss if the financial liability is:

—

—

—

a contingent consideration of an acquirer in a business combination to which AASB 3: Business Combinations applies;

held for trading; or

initially designated as at fair value through profit or loss.

All other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

The effective interest method  is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a debt instrument and of allocating interest expense in 
profit or loss over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the internal rate of return of the financial asset or liability. That is, it is 
the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash flows through the expected life of the instrument to the net carrying amount at 
initial recognition.

A financial liability is held for trading if:

—

—

—

it is incurred for the purpose of repurchasing or repaying in the near term;

part of a portfolio where there is an actual pattern of short-term profit taking; or

a derivative financial instrument (except for a derivative that is in a financial guarantee contract or a derivative that is in a effective 
hedging relationships).

Any gains or losses arising on changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss to the extent that they are not part of a 
designated hedging relationship are recognised in profit or loss.

The change in fair value of the financial liability attributable to changes in the issuer's credit risk is taken to other comprehensive 
income and are not subsequently reclassified to profit or loss. Instead, they are transferred to retained earnings upon 
derecognition of the financial liability. If taking the change in credit risk in other comprehensive income enlarges or creates an 
accounting mismatch, then these gains or losses should be taken to profit or loss rather than other comprehensive income.

A financial liability cannot be reclassified.

Financial assets

Financial assets are subsequently measured at:

—

—

—

amortised cost;

fair value through other comprehensive income; or

fair value through profit or loss.

Measurement is on the basis of two primary criteria:

—

—

the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset; and

the business model for managing the financial assets.

A financial asset that meets the following conditions is subsequently measured at amortised cost:

—

—

the financial asset is managed solely to collect contractual cash flows; and

the contractual terms within the financial asset give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the 
principal amount outstanding on specified dates.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020

Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont'd)

A financial asset that meets the following conditions is subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income:

—

—

—

—

the contractual terms within the financial asset give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the 
principal amount outstanding on specified dates;

the business model for managing the financial assets comprises both contractual cash flows collection and the selling of the 
financial asset.

By default, all other financial assets that do not meet the measurement conditions of amortised cost and fair value through other 
comprehensive income are subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss.

The Company initially designates a financial instrument as measured at fair value through profit or loss if: 

it eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency (often referred to as “accounting mismatch”) that 
would otherwise arise from measuring assets or liabilities or recognising the gains and losses on them on different bases;

it is in accordance with the documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about the groupings was 
documented appropriately, so that the performance of the financial liability that was part of a group of financial liabilities or financial 
assets can be managed and evaluated consistently on a fair value basis;

—

it is a hybrid contract that contains an embedded derivative that significantly modifies the cash flows otherwise required by the 
contract.

The initial designation of the financial instruments to measure at fair value through profit or loss is a one-time option on initial 
classification and is irrevocable until the financial asset is derecognised.

Derecognition

Derecognition refers to the removal of a previously recognised financial asset or financial liability from the statement of financial 
position.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

A liability is derecognised when it is extinguished (i.e. when the obligation in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires). An 
exchange of an existing financial liability for a new one with substantially modified terms, or a substantial modification to the terms of a 
financial liability is treated as an extinguishment of the existing liability and recognition of a new financial liability.

The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable, including any 
non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.

Derecognition of financial assets

A financial asset is derecognised when the holder's contractual rights to its cash flows expires, or the asset is transferred in such a way 
that all the risks and rewards of ownership are substantially transferred.

All of the following criteria need to be satisfied for derecognition of financial asset:

—

—

—

the right to receive cash flows from the asset has expired or been transferred;

all risk and rewards of ownership of the asset have been substantially transferred; and

the Company no longer controls the asset (i.e. the Company has no practical ability to make a unilateral decision to sell the asset 
to a third party).

On derecognition of a financial asset measured at amortised cost, the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the sum of 
the consideration received and receivable is recognised in profit or loss.

On derecognition of a debt instrument classified as at fair value through other comprehensive income, the cumulative gain or loss 
previously accumulated in the investment revaluation reserve is reclassified to profit or loss.

On derecognition of an investment in equity which was elected to be classified under fair value through other comprehensive income, 
the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in the investment revaluation reserve is not reclassified to profit or loss, but is 
transferred to retained earnings.

Impairment

The Group recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses on:

—

—

—

—

—

financial assets that are measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income;

lease receivables;

contract assets (e.g. amounts due from customers under construction contracts);

loan commitments that are not measured at fair value through profit or loss; and

financial guarantee contracts that are not measured at fair value through profit or loss.

Loss allowance is not recognised for:

—

—

financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss; or

equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020

Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont'd)

Expected credit losses are the probability-weighted estimate of credit losses over the expected life of a financial instrument. A credit 
loss is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due and all cash flows expected to be received, all discounted at the 
original effective interest rate of the financial instrument.

The Group uses the following approaches to impairment, as applicable under AASB 9: Financial Instruments:

—

—

—

—

the general approach

the simplified approach

the purchased or originated credit impaired approach; and

low credit risk operational simplification.

General approach

Under the general approach, at each reporting period, the Group assesses whether the financial instruments are credit-impaired, and if:

—

—

the credit risk of the financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group measures the loss 
allowance of the financial instruments at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses; or

there is no significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, the Group measures the loss allowance for that financial 
instrument at an amount equal to 12-month expected credit losses.

Simplified approach

The simplified approach does not require tracking of changes in credit risk at every reporting period, but instead requires the 
recognition of lifetime expected credit loss at all times. This approach is applicable to:

—

trade receivables or contract assets that result from transactions within the scope of AASB 15: Revenue from Contracts with 
Customers  and which do not contain a significant financing component; and

—

lease receivables.

In measuring the expected credit loss, a provision matrix for trade receivables was used taking into consideration various data to get to 
an expected credit loss (i.e. diversity of customer base, appropriate groupings of historical loss experience, etc.).

Purchased or originated credit-impaired approach

For a financial asset that is considered credit-impaired (not on acquisition or origination), the Group measures any change in its lifetime 
expected credit loss as the difference between the asset’s gross carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows 
discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. Any adjustment is recognised in profit or loss as an impairment gain or 
loss.

Evidence of credit impairment includes: 

—

—

—

—

—

significant financial difficulty of the issuer or borrower;

a breach of contract (e.g. default or past due event);

a lender granting to the borrower a concession, due to the borrower's financial difficulty, that the lender would not otherwise 
consider;

high probability that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation; and

the disappearance of an active market for the financial asset because of financial difficulties.

Low credit risk operational simplification approach

If a financial asset is determined to have low credit risk at the initial reporting date, the Group assumes that the credit risk has not 
increased significantly since initial recognition and accordingly it can continue to recognise a loss allowance of 12-month expected 
credit loss.

In order to make such a determination that the financial asset has low credit risk, the Group applies its internal credit risk ratings or 
other methodologies using a globally comparable definition of low credit risk.

A financial asset is considered to have low credit risk if:

—

—

—

there is a low risk of default by the borrower;

the borrower has strong capacity to meet its contractual cash flow obligations in the near term;

adverse changes in economic and business conditions in the longer term may, but not necessarily will, reduce the ability of the 
borrower to fulfil its contractual cash flow obligations.

A financial asset is not considered to carry low credit risk merely due to existence of collateral, or because a borrower has a risk of 
default lower than the risk inherent in the financial assets, or lower than the credit risk of the jurisdiction in which it operates.

Recognition of expected credit losses in financial statements

At each reporting date, the Group recognises the movement in the loss allowance as an impairment gain or loss in the statement of 
profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020

Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont'd)

The carrying amount of financial assets measured at amortised cost includes the loss allowance relating to that asset.

Assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income are recognised at fair value, with changes in fair value recognised 
in other comprehensive income. Amounts in relation to change in credit risk are transferred from other comprehensive income to profit 
or loss at every reporting period.

For financial assets that are unrecognised (e.g. loan commitments yet to be drawn, financial guarantees), a provision for loss allowance 
is created in the statement of financial position to recognise the loss allowance.

(g)

Impairment of Assets

At the end of each reporting period, the company assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. The 
assessment will include the consideration of external and internal sources of information, including dividends received from 
subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures deemed to be out of pre-acquisition profits. If such an indication exists, an impairment test is 
carried out on the asset by comparing the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs of 
disposal and value in use, to the asset’s carrying amount. Any excess of the asset’s carrying amount over its recoverable amount is 
recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount in accordance with another Standard (e.g. in 
accordance with the revaluation model in AASB 116: Property, Plant and Equipment ). Any impairment loss of a revalued asset is 
treated as a revaluation decrease in accordance with that other Standard.

Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the entity estimates the recoverable amount of the 
cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill, intangible assets with indefinite lives and intangible assets not yet available for 
use.

When an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised 
estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have 
been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an 
impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the 
reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.

(h)

Investments in Associates

An associate is an entity over which the company has significant influence. Significant influence is the power to participate in the 
financial and operating policy decisions of the entity but is not control or joint control of those policies. Investments in associates are 
accounted for in the financial statements by applying the equity method of accounting, whereby the investment is initially recognised at 
cost (including transaction costs) and adjusted thereafter for the post-acquisition change in the company’s share of net assets of the 
associate. In addition, the Company’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income is included in the financial 
statements.

The carrying amount of the investment includes, when applicable, goodwill relating to the associate. Any discount on acquisition, 
whereby the Company’s share of the net fair value of the associate exceeds the cost of investment, is recognised in profit or loss in the 
period in which the investment is acquired.

Profits and losses resulting from transactions between the Company and the associate are eliminated to the extent of the Company’s 
interest in the associate.

When the Company’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, the Company discontinues 
recognising its share of further losses unless it has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the 
associate. When the associate subsequently makes profits, the Company will resume recognising its share of those profits once its 
share of the profits equals the share of the losses not recognised.

The requirements of AASB 128: Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures and AASB 9: Financial Instruments are applied to 
determine whether it is necessary to recognise any impairment loss with respect to the Group’s investment in an associate or a joint 
venture. When necessary, the entire carrying amount of the investment (including goodwill) is tested for impairment in accordance with 
AASB 136: Impairment of Assets as a single asset by comparing its recoverable amount (higher of value in use and fair value less 
costs of disposal) with its carrying amount. Any impairment loss recognised forms part of the carrying amount of the investment. Any 
reversal of that impairment loss is recognised in accordance with AASB 136 to the extent that the recoverable amount of the 
investment subsequently increases.

(i)

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that 
an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured.

Provisions are measured using the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation at the end of the reporting period.

(j)

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and deposits available on demand with banks.

(k)

Revenue and Other Income

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable after taking into account any trade discounts and 
volume rebates allowed.  When the inflow of consideration is deferred it is treated as the provision of financing and is discounted at a 
rate of interest that is generally accepted in the market for similar arrangements.  The difference between the amount initially 
recognised and the amount ultimately received is interest revenue.

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised at the point of delivery as this corresponds to the transfer of significant risks and rewards 
of ownership of the goods and the cessation of all involvement in those goods.

Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest method.

Dividend revenue is recognised when the right to receive a dividend has been established. Dividends received from associates and 
joint ventures are accounted for in accordance with the equity method of accounting. The carrying amount of the investment in the 
associate must be decreased by the amount of dividends received or receivable from the associate.

Revenue recognition relating to the provision of services is determined with reference to the stage of completion of the transaction at 
the end of the reporting period where the outcome of the contract can be estimated reliably.  Stage of completion is determined with 
reference to the services performed to date as a percentage of total anticipated services to be performed.  Where the outcome cannot 
be estimated reliably, revenue is recognised only to the extent that related expenditure is recoverable.

Finance income is recognised on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease term so as to reflect a constant periodic rate of return 
on the net investment.

All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax.

(l)

Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not 
recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).  

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, 
or payable to, the ATO is included with other receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.

Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are 
recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO are presented as operating cash flows included in receipts from customers or payments to 
suppliers.

(m)

Trade and Other Receivables

Trade and other receivables include amounts due from customers for goods sold and services performed in the ordinary course of 
business. Receivables expected to be collected within 12 months of the end of the reporting period are classified as current assets. All 
other receivables are classified as non-current assets.

Trade and other receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective 
interest method, less any provision for impairment. Refer to Note 1(f) for further discussion on the determination of impairment losses.

(n)

Trade and Other Payables

Trade and other payables represent the liabilities for goods and services received by the entity that remain unpaid at the end of the 
reporting period. The balance is recognised as a current liability with the amounts normally paid within 30 days of recognition of the 
liability. Trade and other payables are initially measured at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective 
interest method.

(o)

Comparative Figures

When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current 
financial year. 

Where the Group retrospectively applies an accounting policy, makes a retrospective restatement or reclassifies items in its financial 
statements, an additional (third) statement of financial position as at the beginning of the preceding period in addition to the minimum 
comparative financial statements is presented.

(p)

The Group has adopted AASB 16: Leases retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying AASB 16 recognised at 1 July 
2019. In accordance with AASB 16, the comparatives for the 2019 reporting period have not been restated.

The Group currently does not have any leases.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements

The directors evaluate estimates and judgements incorporated into the financial statements based on historical knowledge and best 
available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and 
economic data, obtained both externally and within the company.

Key Judgements

Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure

Exploration expenditures incurred are capitalised in respect of each identifiable area of interest. These costs are only capitalised to the 
extent that they are expected to be recovered through the successful development of the area or where activities in the area have not 
yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves.

Accumulated costs in relation to a relinquished area are written off in full against the profit or loss in the year in which the decision to 
abandon the area is made.

When production commences, the accumulated costs for the relevant area of interest will be amortised over the life of the area 
according to the rate of depletion of the economically recoverable reserves.

(r)

Going Concern

The financial report have been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and 
the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

The Group generated a loss of $1,122,346 (2019: loss of $755,659) and net cash outflows from the operating activities of $186,175 
(2019: outflows of $237,817) for the year ended 30 June 2020. As of that date, the Group had net assets deficit of $177,176 (2019: net 
assets of $469,770). These conditions indicate a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt concerning the ability of he Group 
to continue as a going concern.

The Directors have prepared a cashflow forecast for the next 12 months based on best estimates of future inflows and outflows of cash 
to support the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. The Directors are confident that they can raise capital when required as 
they have been successful in the past.

The $72,259 capitalised exploration expenditure relates to the Marymia Project in Western Australia and the the two option agreements that 
granted the Company a 12 month window to assess more fully the potential of the Rutherglen Gold Project and the Bendoc Gold Project.

During the year, the Company had written off the exploration expenditure related to the remaining tenements of the North Arunta Joint 
Venture that was handed back to Prodigy Gold NL. The total amount written off was $935,176 (30 June 2019: $324,382)

The value of the Company's interest in exploration expenditure is dependent upon the:

-

-

-

continuance of the economic entity's right to tenure to the areas of interest;

the results of future exploration; and

the recoupment of costs through successful development and exploitation of the areas of interest, or alternatively, by their sale.

Ultimate recovery of deferred exploration and evaluation costs is dependent upon the success of pre-feasibility studies, exploration and 
evaluation or sale or farm-out of the exploration interest. Broadly, the Company has three cost centres, Corporate, Pre-feasibility and 
Exploration. Where identifiable, costs associated with the Pre-feasibility and Exploration cost centres are capitalised. These costs are 
annual reviewed for impairment and a charge is made direct to the Statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the 
Company where an impairment is identified.

The Group has reviewed all of its tenements and has only carried forward the expenses on the tenements that give rise to a potential 
economic benefit to the Company through development or exploration.

Note 13: Issued Capital (cont'd)

(c) Capital Management

Management controls the capital of the Group in order to maintain a sustainable debt to equity ratio, generate long-term shareholder 
value and ensure that the Group can fund its operations and continue as a going concern.

The Group’s debt and capital include ordinary share capital and financial liabilities, supported by financial assets.

The Group is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

Management effectively manages the Group’s capital by assessing the Group's financial risks and adjusting its capital structure in 
response to changes in these risks and in the market.  These responses include the management of debt levels, distributions to 
shareholders and share issues.

There have been no changes in the strategy adopted by management to control the capital of the Group since the prior year.

Specific Financial Risk Exposures and Management

The main risks the Group is exposed to through its financial instruments are credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk consisting of interest 
rate risk, foreign currency risk and other price risk (commodity and equity price risk).  There have been no substantive changes in the types 
of risks the Group is exposed to, how these risks arise, or the Board’s objectives, policies and processes for managing or measuring the 
risks from the previous period.

a. Credit risk

Exposure to credit risk relating to financial assets arises from the potential non-performance by counterparties of contract obligations 
that could lead to a financial loss to the Group.

The Group does not have any significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or any group of counterparties having similar 
characteristics. The credit risk on liquid funds and derivative financial instruments is limited as the counterparties are banks with high 
credit ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies.

The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial statements, net of any allowances for losses, represent the Group's 
maximum exposure to credit risk.

Note 19: Financial Risk Management (cont'd)

b.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the Group might encounter difficulty in settling its debts or otherwise meeting its obligations 
related to financial liabilities.  The Group manages this risk through the following mechanisms:

• preparing forward-looking cash flow analyses in relation to its operating, investing and financing activities;
• maintaining a reputable credit profile;
• managing credit risk related to financial assets;
• only investing surplus cash with major financial institutions; and
• comparing the maturity profile of financial liabilities with the realisation profile of financial assets

The following table details the Group's remaining contractual maturity for its financial liabilities and financial assets.

The Group's exposure to market risk primarily consists of financial risks associated with changes in interest rates as detailed below. As 
the level of risk is low, the Group does not use any derivatives to hedge its exposure.

Sensitivity An

A sensitivity analysis has been determined based on the exposure to interest rates at reporting date with the stipulated change taking place 
at the beginning of the financial year and held constant throughout the reporting period..

These sensitivities assume that the movement in a particular variable is independent of other variables.

Fair Values

Fair value estimation

The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities are presented in the following table and can be compared to their carrying amounts 
as presented in the statement of financial position. 

Fair values derived may be based on information that is estimated or subject to judgment, where changes in assumptions may have a 
material impact on the amounts estimated. Areas of judgement and the assumptions have been detailed below. Where possible, valuation 
information used to calculate fair value is extracted from the market, with more reliable information from markets that are actively traded. In 
this regard, fair values for listed securities are obtained from quoted market bid prices. Where securities are unlisted and no market quotes 
are available, fair value is obtained using discounted cash flow analysis and other valuation techniques commonly used by market 
participants.

Differences between fair values and carrying amounts of financial instruments with fixed interest rates are due to the change in discount 
rates being applied by the market since their initial recognition by the Group.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including: 

(i)  giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2020 and of its financial performance for the year 

ended on that date; and 

(ii)  complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001. 

Basis for Opinion 

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further 
described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the 
Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of 
the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that 
are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance 
with the Code. 

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern 

We draw attention  to Note 1(p) in  the financial  report which  indicates that the ability of the Company  to  continue as a going 
concern is dependent on its ability to raise capital when required. The events and conditions, including the loss for the period, 
indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going 
concern and therefore the Company may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business 
at amounts stated in the financial report.  

Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

TO THE MEMBERS OF GLADIATOR RESOURCES LIMITED 

Key Audit Matters 
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial 
report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in 
forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

relation to the various 
tenements.

ended 30 June 2020, the 
Directors have assessed 
and determined that no 
further write-off or 
impairment is required. 

The auditor’s procedures included: 

 

 

obtaining  a  copy  of  the  Directors’  assessment  of  the  carrying  value  of  capitalised 
Exploration  Expenditure  and  reviewing  and  challenging  assertions  made  by  the

the period for which the entity has the right to explore in the specific area 
has expired during the period or will expire in the near  future, and is not 
expected to be renewed; 
substantive  expenditure  on  further  exploration  for  and  evaluation  of 
mineral resources in the specific area is neither budgeted nor planned; 
exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources in the specific area have 
not  led  to  the  discovery  of  commercially  viable  quantities  of  mineral 
resources and  the entity has decided  to  discontinue  such  activities  in  the 
specific area; 
sufficient data exist to indicate that, although a development in the specific 
area  is  likely  to  proceed,  the  carrying  amount  of  the  exploration  and 
evaluation  asset  is  unlikely  to  be  recovered  in  full  from  successful 
development or by sale; 
significant  changes with an adverse effect on the entity have taken  place 
during the period, or will take place in the near future, in the technological, 
market, economic or legal environment in which the entity operates or in 
the market to which an asset is dedicated; 
the carrying amount of the net assets of the entity is more than its market 
capitalisation; and 
evidence is available of obsolescence or physical damage of an asset.
